Im curious i live in ontario and its very hard to find clear info on deleting trucks, i currently have a 2nd gen but i want to get a 2013 ram 3500 and delete it but i also dont want to get hit with a massive ticket
It's truly criminal what the EPA in the US is doing. It's bad enough that everything they do for emissions is counter productive but the fact they can just eliminate an entire sub culture/hobby that makes millions for small business is just mind blowing
How is it mind blowing? It should be no surprise that the EPA is cracking down on people deleting trucks. After VW's cheater software scandal, and the problems that now Ram is having with their trucks supposedly not meeting standards with emissions equipment intact; there will come a time when the fines and state laws will make it untenable to delete a truck. The EPA could care less about a "sub culture, or hobby" all they see is people turning up their fuel pumps and blowing black smoke... which isn't even good for those of us who enjoy diesels as well. Electric vehicles suck, but we have to come to terms with the reality that the days of tuning diesels are quickly dwindling away.
Id like to see you do a 100 mile MPG comparison between a stock, non deleted, truck and a deleted and tuned truck. Fuel topped off and hand calculated MPG test.
Ive done this myself without a video or anything. I did an ecm swap with tune on my ram 3500 cummins. Stock in edmonton alberta i was getting on average truck only on decent roadways with minimal wind about 15-15.5L/100KM. Post delete on the same roads in similar conditions if not worse i would average 8-10L/100KM. An insane, absolutely insane difference.
I got a 2019 Ram 3500. It's deleted, cp3 pump and on a standard mopar tune. (gotta get it redone for the CP3 recall.) Anyway, went from Claresholm to Canmore to Lethbridge. 8.2 L/100kms, 115 kph most of the time. Thats 28mpg. Very impressed.
I have to say that the 5” turbo back straight pipe is the way to go with any diesel truck. Takes any diesel engine and makes it sound so much better and keep the engine breathing correctly & efficiently!
@@robcimpan25114 inch should be better for everything that isn't racing or high rpm applications. For any given rpm, a particular exhaust pipe diameter is the most efficient. If you go too large your exhaust velocity decreases from having to push through lots of stagnant air.
@@adam9936 yeah. It's all opinion. Sometimes the 4 inch sounds more jet engine like because you can hear the turbo more. 5in is deeper and the turbo sounds are less pronounced
Those little people pushing emissions and electric vehicles are wild man…… the most efficient vehicles are tuned and deleted diesel trucks….. my truck is pre emissions so I’m clear way out here but this truck right here is so clean and nicely set up!!!! Needs 37x13.50r20 Nitto mudgrapplers!!!! And it’ll be set perfectly!
Kyle, love your videos. Always very informative and you don’t rush through with explaining the little details. Keep the videos coming. I really enjoy your content. 👍🏻🔥
One thing I can mention here is, I have the same tune EFI live with the switch. setting 4 has the exhaust brake at idle, the others dont. When i switch power modes quickly like you did, sometimes it doesn't actually go into the final switched position, Lets say 4, and instead stays in tune 2 or 3. so I'd switch one click at a time now. My giveaway to know is the exhaust brake isn't on**
More power will come from higher boost, therefore it will only be realized at full throttle. It will make the same power at just cruising speeds without spinning up that turbo and pushing it
That's really interesting to me that the higher HP tunes are actually yielding better fuel mileage! I haven't personally tried to see what my mileage would be on various settings 2-5. My truck's been liberated for the past 2.5 years before most of the utter craziness went down here in the states. I've actually been somewhat afraid of keeping it in tune 3 or higher for regular driving. Most of the time, I'll only turn it up to 3 to 5 if I do wanna romp for a quick pull on the highway and I always make sure my transmission's up to temp beforehand. Almost every time I do a pull like that (especially on 4 or 5), I'll throw a tranny code for low line pressure even after I had the trans service done about 15-20k miles ago. I'd probably need an upgraded valve body to avoid that, but truthfully, I only did the "weight reduction" for reliability because I kept getting limp mode threats multiple times while the OEM components were still on and I just got tired of bringing it to the dealer about 5 separate times while under extended warranty without any real fix. Once the warranty was up, the junk came off and I haven't had a single issue since... go figure! Do you really think SOTF tunes 3 or 4 would be fine for regular daily usage (don't really wanna publicly disclose the tune company used on my EZ-Lynk, but from what I can recall, I'm almost positive it's based off all the major players in the industry)? I really like the feel of tunes 3 and 4 in particular, especially with the better throttle response of the trans tuning. Even tune 1 has been much better than stock with MPG, but I certainly wouldn't mind a boost in fuel economy here in the mountains with so many significant elevation changes. What do you think?
I installed a Revmax billet valve body in my 68RFE. Of course, ur gonna need tunes. I regularly see 252 psi line pressure now at big throttle and/or higher RPM's. It also holds RPM's higher and longer than stock. As far as running high HP tunes goes, I tried the 200+ HP setting. Aside from rolling coal all over everyone behind me, it got worse mileage, even though I'm a very conservative driver. And I'm running a BD Diesel Iron Horn turbo upgrade, just FYI. I don't want to draw that kind of attention.
That MPG is awesome I got the 2017 6.7 2500 with same so tires and get like 18ish-20 mpg sometimes.that extra power with better MPG is awesome,I’m in Arizona I got see if I can do this to mine for sure
My 2010 has 197,000 .. full deleted , getting 18.8 mpg at 85mph on flat land on cruise , about 19.3 at 75 mph . From my test going from California to Houston and back … a few times, 36” tires 🛞
Thanks Dark Iron..Great info…we set up our 06 / 2500 / 5.9 / mega cab with everything you did to your previous blue truck and it’s a keeper…thinking about an 08 resistol with a 6.7 to add to the fleet..so this vid really helps
Nothing more environmentally friendly than seeing the regeneration in progress message and having to drive until it completes its cycle regardless if you have reached your destination. Failing to do so will eventually result in a check engine light with a P2459 code.
+1 for sound. +1 for power. But I didn't see a noticeable increase in MPG. Neither have my friends who deleted. Some might get an extra mile or two, but personally I believe all these huge mileage increase claims are bullshit. I guess Canadian trucks are special. LOL.
I plan to do this to the 2014 ram 2500 I found. Gonna do a full 4 inch straight out to dual 4.5 inch custom made stacks that I'll be making myself. As for rims and tires, I'll be keeping her on stocks for the time being just because money dictates. I'm also going to look into getting one of the new 8 speed transmissions they're implementing in ALL 3/4 and 1 ton diesel and gas trucks now. It'll get even better fuel economy than this, I dare say it might peak at over 30 MPGS!!! That'd be the ULTIMATE do all truck!! And I don't accelerate fast, people say I accelerate like a freight train but that's never a bad thing.
Sounds great. I’m going to delete mine eventually. Definitely need the muffler because I’m in comifornia. I’ve done the banks monster ram intake and the cold air intake from banks. I also replaced my turbo actuator with the city diesel one. It sounds great, I just don’t want a super loud truck because I use it for work everyday.
I get 22-24 mpg out of my 3rd gen 5.9 mega cab with 5” turbo back, cold air intake, 8” lift on 37’s with the smarty touch programmer and monitor. I LOVE IT!!!! Never going to get rid of this truck unless someone brings me 30k it ain’t leaving LMAO 🤣 priced high so it ain’t goin no where lollll
You'd probably get better mpg's(and more low end power) with a 4 inch exhaust. 5 inch is better for racing. Exhaust velocity is what determines efficiency and power.
Awesome video man!! 25 mpg is really good for a diesel. My 23 Nissan Titan pro-4x 5.6 V8 gets 25 mpg on 35's. Ive done intake with a venomaire intake combo, ram air hood, headers with header cooling wrap, exhaust, diablo sports tune, 92 octane tune, trans tune and a few other mods.
Excellent video! Thats a really nice truck ! Have you ever encountered issues using a SOTF? I’ve wanted to try using one on my Powerstroke but I’ve read they’re bad for the truck because it only changes your ECM on the fly but doesn’t touch the TCM parameters, so basically it’ll add extra wear and tear with the constant power changes.
@@darkirondiesel Better, that's true. But don't imply that you're actually getting 27mpg. It's not named a lie-o-meter for nothing. Run a whole tank on each setting and hand calculate.
I need to swap out my tunes. When i deleted my def I went with GDP for my tunes. Didnt know what i got myself into. Get like 8mpg and would like to swap for better tunes so that i have better mileage. Suggestions? I have a 2014 6.7 cummins
How is it that Canada has more freedom to do what they want with their vehicles than we do here in America. Really hard for this Texas boy to accept. 🤯
Yeah, show us an entire trip with that because I can get the same MPG too for a short few seconds but depending if you’re slightly going downhill, you’re not getting anywhere near mid 20s for PG at 70 miles an hour not even on the stock tires
Thats some damnnn good mileage. My deleted and tuned 2012 6.7 cummins on 35 inch tires currently gets about 15-18 mpg on flat land at 55 mph. the higher hp settings makes my mileage worse.
my thoughts exactly. The truck had all the work done prior to me getting it. Its a bit challenging finding someone reputable in the states due to all the epa laws. @@darkirondiesel
Yeah sounds like you need a different tuner bro, I have a 2012 ram 3500 mega cab leveled on 35” tires and I get if I’m just cruising around exactly what you get and I’m completely stock. would love to delete mines though
Was lucky with last truck, being a 12’ was the last year before needing def so a delete was pretty easy. Now I just got an 07 duramax(lmm). Still has emission but should easy to tune and delete
I have a 03 lb7 with some mods done it's a 6 inch lift 35 inch bighorns on 17s 5 inch straight piped I'm getting 28 hwy at 75 mph and 24 city soni definitely ain't bitching lmao
Just picked up a 2015 Wednesday and Friday the check engine light came on for a nox code dealership wouldn’t help with anything so I just ordered the full kit from diesel dudes
You got good truck talk and parts availability. But where's the blue dodge?? The single cab?? Folks where I'm from own them and like your knowledge on upgrades.
And in my opinion the 5” stainless steel turbo back straight pipe sounds better than the regular steel/aluminized 5” straight pipe. Worth every penny of the price difference
It makes me mad having an ecodiesel and I only get 29-30. I should’ve gotten a Cummins. BUT! The performance is much better. I don’t tow/haul so I like the speed. Tighter steering with the 1500
What are you going to do when the state wants the Emissions upgrade info from the CHYSLER Dealer on the Emission recall notice? Oh shit! No registration for me!
I have 2024 Ram 3500 high output 6.7 Cummins. I have a lot of problems with emissions systems. Only have 50k miles on it. Do you know if i can do the same think to it?
I have a 2023 ram 2500, diesel dudes sells a kit that i bought it’s pricey though, 6k 2022-24 we have to buy a whole new cpu and 5” back totally worth it thought
Deleting doesn’t give you insane fuel mileage gains. It gives you a slight fuel mileage and hp gain. What is insane is the longevity gain you get out of deleting. Smartin up
can you recommend programmer to turn all the stuff off on a 2012 ram 6.7 if i del just the egr? i need do have no check engine etc for smog, dont need anything to fancy. if it has tunes thats fine but my mileage sucks 9 mpg
Hey great video very informative just a question is there a lift or a level and what size and brand are the tires I know 37 ? By thanks and keep up the good work
So what if a guy buys a pickup that's already been deleted it blows a hole in the block smashing the ecm pcm and you get another engine . Can you tune it after the def, dpf and egr are already off? Cause that's the pickel I'm in
Sounds great. We're you recording though your phone microphone or the trucks microphone? I'm trying to gauge since I use the built in truck stereo for phone calls often.
Looking for a tune on my autocal, 2012 Cummins, added a CSP5 selector switch and dont have CSP Maps on mines to switch on the fly. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
Hey Dark Iron Diesel, if I move to Canada after I've already done the 67a recall, will the new tune (I believe that's all they did) be overwritten by the new one if I do this Diesel Dudes kit?
@@darkirondiesel has anyone done it yet after getting the recall update? This is a rumor going around that if you got the 67A update reflash that it locks the PCM.
If you search on my channel “how I deleted my 2022 Cummins” or something like that a video should pop up. I have the Aisin in mine. Fuel milage is worse because of the gearing, but it runs and drives awesome
That’s insane! I tuned my 2014 6.7 with the whole kit from diesel dudes thanks to you. I get about 13.5-14mpg. My issue now is that I am getting (after about 5-7 weeks after the tune) what I’ve been told could be “timing rattle.” Any experience with any issue like that before Dark Iron Diesel? Would love your insight on it. I have videos of it rattling I can share.
@@cyclonus01 not sure why… I guess it can be several variables. I do mainly city driving in a heavily congested city so it’s pretty much bumper to bumper all the time. Stop and go stop and go. I don’t get on the gas much though so I’m not sure what it could be.
looking to purchase a 4th gen ram coming from a 3rd gen which year 4th gen is the best?? thank you heard to stay away from 12-13 but any advice much appreciated.
I think they are all pretty much the same man, personally I’d get a 2013+ for resale value, the 2010-2012 have an older interior. Just buy the best one you can find, best shape, lowest miles, less owners the better usually.
I'm in Ontario with a 4th gen, Delete tune, under the hood unplug not removed and straight 4 inch, Can it be possible that once a year to go back and forth between stuck and Deleted to pass emissions test Thanks
Yes but let off the throttle when you do it. Also keep in mind switching power levels effects how the transmission will shift because it’s constantly adapting to driving styles and power, so don’t be switching levels constantly and driving the truck hard, it will be bad for the transmission.
Yes you can switch tunes with the ez lynk but it’s not instant. You would have to program the new tune onto the truck each time which takes about 10 minutes
kind of doubt the mpg claims. You have to remember the programmer is making changes to fueling program for truck. The dash "lie o meter " is trying to make a calculation based on the stock fuel settings. When you post hand calculated mpg from using up a complete fuel tank I will be more impressed. Also did you reprogram in regards to your tire size? Overall nice clean delete😀

What are you going to do when the state wants the Emissions upgrade info from the CHYSLER Dealer on the Emission recall notice? Oh shit! No registration for me!
You can’t rely on the dash mpg, that’s false. I’ve had tuned and stock trucks and fuel mileage stays about the same.
I have 2024 Ram 3500 high output 6.7 Cummins. I have a lot of problems with emissions systems. Only have 50k miles on it. Do you know if i can do the same think to it?
I have a 2023 ram 2500, diesel dudes sells a kit that i bought it’s pricey though, 6k 2022-24 we have to buy a whole new cpu and 5” back totally worth it thought
Did you only trust the computer readout for your mpg or did you use a calculator after refilling?
As someone brand new to the tuning world, would it be bad to run the truck on the level 4 setting all the time?
I run my 2015 in setting 5 almost constantly
Nice. Looking forward to “how to do it’’ video. ❤❤
It’s already up! I put a link to it in this video’s description
sounds amazing
Deleting doesn’t give you insane fuel mileage gains. It gives you a slight fuel mileage and hp gain. What is insane is the longevity gain you get out of deleting. Smartin up
😂 😂 😂 get off my page
When I deleted and tuned my 2013 Cummins, I went on a 6hr trip and got about 30ish mpg
That’s so good
What would be a better option for someone that doesn’t want drone dpf pipe only or 5” with muffler
If you don’t care about having the biggest exhaust on the block just get the delete pipes with muffler. This is the kit here shrsl.com/4ke08
Resonator would help with that droning Nd keep good sound still
can you recommend programmer to turn all the stuff off on a 2012 ram 6.7 if i del just the egr? i need do have no check engine etc for smog, dont need anything to fancy. if it has tunes thats fine but my mileage sucks 9 mpg
Which setting do you reset or re tune truck
Hey great video very informative just a question is there a lift or a level and what size and brand are the tires I know 37 ? By thanks and keep up the good work
Hey, I’m not sure, I think the truck was just stick with 37” tires on stock wheels. It rubbed a bit if you turned it all the way
37/12.5/20 fallen wildpeaks at3w with a 2” spacer level. Rubbed bad b4 at full lock. I own the truck.
So what if a guy buys a pickup that's already been deleted it blows a hole in the block smashing the ecm pcm and you get another engine . Can you tune it after the def, dpf and egr are already off? Cause that's the pickel I'm in
Sounds great. We're you recording though your phone microphone or the trucks microphone? I'm trying to gauge since I use the built in truck stereo for phone calls often.
Just through my iPhones microphone
So for the MPGs. Is taking into account the speedo being off from the 37s or is the computer already recalibrated?
The Speedo was calibrated for the bigger tires
Great Video!
Looking for a tune on my autocal, 2012 Cummins, added a CSP5 selector switch and dont have CSP Maps on mines to switch on the fly. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
Hey Dark Iron Diesel, if I move to Canada after I've already done the 67a recall, will the new tune (I believe that's all they did) be overwritten by the new one if I do this Diesel Dudes kit?
Ya the diesel dudes kit will overwrite whatever programming is on the ecm
Awesome thanks for the info!@darkirondiesel
@@darkirondiesel has anyone done it yet after getting the recall update? This is a rumor going around that if you got the 67A update reflash that it locks the PCM.
Do you have any videos on 2019 H.O. Aisen’s? I would love to see a full tune and delete, as well as gas’s mileage , the good, the bad, the ugly😊
If you search on my channel “how I deleted my 2022 Cummins” or something like that a video should pop up. I have the Aisin in mine. Fuel milage is worse because of the gearing, but it runs and drives awesome
@@darkirondiesel I’ll look now
That’s insane! I tuned my 2014 6.7 with the whole kit from diesel dudes thanks to you. I get about 13.5-14mpg.
My issue now is that I am getting (after about 5-7 weeks after the tune) what I’ve been told could be “timing rattle.” Any experience with any issue like that before Dark Iron Diesel? Would love your insight on it. I have videos of it rattling I can share.
Did you get your issue fixed?
@@cyclonus01several emails and a few revised tunes later the rattle did go away.
@Pops57 what about your mpg why is it so low?
@@cyclonus01 not sure why… I guess it can be several variables. I do mainly city driving in a heavily congested city so it’s pretty much bumper to bumper all the time. Stop and go stop and go. I don’t get on the gas much though so I’m not sure what it could be.
How much does it cost to delete a 2018 ram cummins and a 2020 f250 powerstroke. Im looking at buying one or the other
U spoke of a trans tune. Does that trans tune upload automatically when doing the delete or is it a separate download??
On these trucks the ecm and tcm are one unit, so it programs the transmission and engine at the same time.
looking to purchase a 4th gen ram coming from a 3rd gen which year 4th gen is the best?? thank you
heard to stay away from 12-13 but any advice much appreciated.
I think they are all pretty much the same man, personally I’d get a 2013+ for resale value, the 2010-2012 have an older interior. Just buy the best one you can find, best shape, lowest miles, less owners the better usually.
I got a 10 because it doesn’t have def. The interior is a huge upgrade from my third gen, both Laramies.
I’ve got the Aisin transmission. I’m going to keep it in tune 1 forever, how long should I drive it normal before I get back to regular towing.
Not long man maybe a day or so
So does the TCM automatically adjust based on the level you’re in on the switch?
You must be in Saskatchewan. I’ve seen those bins in the middle of the #1 before lol
8.2L/100kms right here!
Not sure what that is in bald eagles and budweisers but gotta be good. 😂
Haha that’s really good! 😂
I can’t believe the mileage is this low
All good videos you rock. How about doing a Dyno pull before and after delete and exhaust and tune. Just curious how much hP makes before and after.
I’m literally in the market for a dyno right now so I can see how much HP certain parts actually gain you
@@darkirondiesel thanks what's your estimate horsepower on that truck you just did
Sounds great!
Thanks!
Have you deleted an LZO 3.0 Duramax?
Should of yelled out, workin or walking! My wife hates it lol
Do you have an MPG test like this from a newer power stroke?

How much did you pay?
Hi, I got P056E error code at my 2021 deleted RAM 2500, do you have any idea how to solve it ? thanks.
I'm in Ontario with a 4th gen,
Delete tune, under the hood unplug not removed and straight 4 inch,
Can it be possible that once a year to go back and forth between stuck and Deleted to pass emissions test
Thanks
You would have to swap your stock exhaust back onto the truck and tune the truck with a stock file, then you should be good.
With the efi live auto cal cam you return to stock in the future?
Yes you can they can send you a stock file
I want to shoehorn an OM 936 into a MK 3 Supra, i just hope it will barely fit.
You CANNOT get proper fuel mileage off of the dash, has to be hand calculated per fill up
Yes sir 🫡
Have a 22 ram 2500 Cummins would love to know how to delete that one I don’t have emissions in my town in Georgia
Check out his other videos. He deleted his 22 or maybe it’s a 23
Is it OK to change fuel maps while driving? Example switches from 1-4 on the SOTF dial.
Yes but let off the throttle when you do it. Also keep in mind switching power levels effects how the transmission will shift because it’s constantly adapting to driving styles and power, so don’t be switching levels constantly and driving the truck hard, it will be bad for the transmission.
@@darkirondiesel I know from experience and destroyed mine while chaging maps while driving. Be careful.
What is the gear ratio on this setup?
Is there any black smoke on the stock setting?
No it’s quite clean
Can you use the ezlynk to change tunes instead of using the SOTF switch??
Yes you can switch tunes with the ez lynk but it’s not instant. You would have to program the new tune onto the truck each time which takes about 10 minutes
kind of doubt the mpg claims. You have to remember the programmer is making changes to fueling program for truck. The dash "lie o meter " is trying to make a calculation based on the stock fuel settings. When you post hand calculated mpg from using up a complete fuel tank I will be more impressed. Also did you reprogram in regards to your tire size?
Overall nice clean delete😀
If you have an existing tune can you put a different tune if you don’t like what you have
Yup you should be able to do that no problem
@@darkirondiesel I have EFI live but I’ve noticed that when I change the knob there isn’t a difference in the way the engine sounds
@@bennyburns77 it won't sound any different lol
Aftermarket air filter make any difference with performance?
Well actually I will be testing that out on a dyno in the near future to see if they actually increase HP so stay tuned for that
Great video, the cam girl added a lot.
Awesome video, in the works of the doing mine thanks buddy your videos are always straight forward 🫡🤙
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Do they have a delete for the baby eco diesels?
This link is for the 2014-2018 ecodiesels if that’s what you mean shrsl.com/4c0r9
